>> steve, do you want to take this? >> steve? >> i think it's pretty hard to know at this point what will stand up to the supreme court review and what won't. we just had a ruling from the seventh circuit court of appeals in chicago that the illinois wan on conceal -- ban on concealed/carry is unconstitutional under the supreme court's recent second amendment decisions. a federal court, federal appeals court in new york took exactly the opposite view. if you go back and read the supreme court decisions in heller and mcdonald, the two really important ones, um, it's -- they suggest that a fair amount of, um, latitude for the democratic branches of government to regulate guns, but they also put a definite boundary on how far those can go. so an outright ban on handguns like we had in chicago before, like washington, d.c. had, that goes too far. whether the second amendment right goes as far as to extend the right of self-defense that the supreme court found that you have in the home to when you leave the home is another question sp

steve jobs, as you all know, had food from the harry krishnas and lived in a car. i just told you my background, my wife cut my hair, we had $800 of cumulative leave pay, it was one whole year before we even ordered a pizza, much less go out to a restaurant. so the people coming out of the bottom level going up are always changing. but if bill gates' income were to drop from 20 million to 10 million, went in half, and everybody else's income went from 100,000 to 90,000, how does that help anybody? the gap gets between rich and poor gets narrowed very dramatically, but does that help anybody? it cuts the amount of taxes that bill gates would send to the federal government, air controllers and the meat inspectors and all the wonderful things the government does for us. and so you have to, i think, take cognizance of why is our country great. it's because of the wealth. you cannot defeat poverty if you don't create wealth. and you don't do any good by slicing the bread differently if you don't build more factories. >> rachel? >> mr. friess, i was wondering if you coul

[applause] i think the late, great famous crocodile-wrestling naturalist steve irwin would have hesitated to sit down at a table for an hour and a half with the vice president, but at the end of that session, we knew which of those men had a better political character and which of those men was a better advocate for his cause.
